    I believe the color guy is Matt Harpring, I've hated that mf since the first time I'd ever seen him play.

    The stream was really nice for me tonight. First half had no lag. 2nd half had lag a few times (somewhere in between 5-10 times for just a few seconds each). Overall, was great.

    They only had the Jazz feed tonight, which was annoying because of Matt Harpring. Last night they had the Mavericks feed, which was annoying as well. But as long as the quality is good and the stream is smooth, then that's good enough for me.

    You can do it straight from their page, which also uses speedtest.

    On that note, I was only able to watch the first half tonight on my iPad and had no lag whatsoever. I did have a lot of lag yesterday. And yes, the Jazz feed was really annoying.

    Watching this game and having to listen to that d-bag exponentially increased my hatred for the Jazz.

    Stream was perfect for me last night. Not a bit of lag.

    Lagged like a sob for me but was still worth it I'm so starved for some Rockets. My download speed is 21mb/s. I streamed through an ipad air to Apple TV. Stream was no better when watching on the ipad.

    Perfection for me last night besides Harpring's annoying arse.


    It seems like the Roku with wired connection is one of the best ways to go.

    I joined and beyond satisfied. To think, I thought it was a scam. shame on me. props to the o.p. Comca$t who?


    Also, I have a tendency to leave my OpenVPN on and it slows down my internet speed. Disconnecting from it, solved my Lag issue. D'oh!

    I'm so happy!!

    I couldn't watch a game for ****. I will blame it on my bull**** internet. I'm paying for the high end service AT&T too.

    On the Roku, I went in and made some adjustments after the first game, and saw a great improvement in the second game.

    Change to Central America server of course.

    Told it to be more adaptive to the variations in the stream.

    Told it NOT to require HD only.

    Even still, trying to watch 'In Progress' refused to work, it gave me an error.

    Trying to play From the Beginning also bombed after about 3 minutes, sames as the previous game.

    However, when I told it Play From Beginning, then I fast-forwarded about 30 minutes into the game, and it was flawless from that point.

    It seems that there is some trouble getting a solid connection when trying to access the beginning of the stream, which I don't understand. But I figured I would pass it along, to see if anyone else can pick that ball up and run with it.
